Recently advanced tractography has been used for
assessing the feasibility of characterizing cerebro-cerebellar tracts,
acknowledging the issue of how tractography deals with polysynaptic connectivity
in particular through the thalamus. In this work, four different synaptic
connectivity configurations at thalamic level were hypothesized and each one of
them was reconstructed using high-quality HCP data.
Our
findings revealed the key role of thalamic connectivity for characterizing the
cerebro-cerebellar connections. We can hypothesize that
the relation between streamlines entering/outing the thalamic synapses is
multiplicative and our findings using polysynaptc thalamic tracts support the
fact that cognitive/associative areas are the mainly involved in the
cerebro-cerebellar connections.
